3 Gnats in a loose vic formation low over Wickford, 10 mins ago.

Re post 953, your best yet!

G-CCCA wore the codes 5R-Q, prior to its fatal accident.

Where are the original plaques and stones stored? Having just walked along the avenue I saw no evidence of refurbished street furniture or new plaques.

Is the runway long enough to land a 747?

Don, I’m using a Maplin 5MP USB Compact Film and Slide scanner, I paid £24.99 for it but this version is currently priced at £14.99. The settings I use are simply calibrate the machine and set it at 300 dpi, then minimal messing about in Photoshop elements to get rid of some dust and scratches, when I get the hang of cleaning the images I’ll probably get a better scanner, higher res, and rescan the images I really want to keep.

I know, I said that it would be a couple of weeks until I posted some more of the slides I have recently bought, but I’m at a loose end tonight and as it is a quiet period at Duxford a little nostalgia might be appreciated, unfortunately I cannot credit the photographers as that information did not come with the slides. Known information is provided other than that maybe others can fill in the blanks,

The first three feature G-AIYR, now operated by Classic Wings, dates and locations unknown,

The next is a Vampire VZ704, anyone got any ideas about dates etc.(possibly June 1980)?

Concord G-AXDN possibly on delivery, no dates on slide but it was in a batch of Duxford slides so I’m just assuming.

The next two are of the FAA Museum, but the Gladiator in the foreground I believe is G-GLAD, year could possibly be ascertained by anyone with knowledge of when the surrounding exhibits were in those positions.
